No way to select a language?
Their design goals may differ from yours, but relevantly for the discussion of language is their goal of "Being understandable and supportive for mappers". This supports local people doing the on the ground mapping, over foreigners wanting to read the map. Another goal is to "represent the diversity of the OSM community and geography in general", which again is in support of using the national languages as the default. See Design goals and guidelines for openstreetmap-carto for more info.
- Why is the forest not rendering above the park on the map?

Taking our next step in the City by the Bay
The benches are even mapped with their 'viewing direction' and color :)

Why does natural=water override the leisure=track rendering, but natural=sand does not?
They just didn't think of this micro-mapping scenario. You can try and do something about it here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues

POIs on private / restricted areas?
For the main map rendering, that's the OSM carto project: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

Just made 2 nodes, how come one is normal and one is transparent? Details in comments.
This is a conscious decision by the maintainers of the standard layer, OSM-carto, and makes sense as you want to make public parking more obvious than places with restricted access.

No cartography symbol for temples (general)?!?
Have you check OSM Carto?
- What determines which points of interest appear on the map?

What's the realistic boundary of using Strava and Lidar to trace paths?

Looking to Download an .IMG exactly like openstreetmaps.org
In that case, openstreetmap.org uses the Carto style by default, for which Kosmtik should do the job, but I haven't personally tried it to know how to use it. JTileDownloader also might work to download the tiles directly from the website, but again, haven't used personally.

I made a web dashboard using Python and FOSS tools to view my Strava data, take a look!
One thing I will recommend -- because it seems like you are simple using flask to query the DB and render to the frontend (just from looking through the code) you **MAY** be able to use https://github.com/CrunchyData/pg_tileserv and cut out the need to even have flask as a the server side language. Curious what your thoughts would be because I am currently working on a few web apps and in the past i've mainly used geodjango and flask as server side but recently created an entire application with postgres, pg_tileserv, leaflet
